Squirrel Appreciation Day

 Today is Squirrel Appreciation Day. 

Here are some facts about squirrels:


When we were camping with Nick’s family this last August (you can find The Post Here) we found a hurt chipmunk. I know it’s not a squirrel, but they are in the same family. We aren’t sure what happened to it, but it was just sitting on the cooler lid and didn’t move much. It finally ran away.

Today is National Popcorn Day (along with National Tin Can Day and Get to Know Your Customer’s Day). We love popcorn! 🍿 We eat it all the time.  We like to make our own, but also like the white cheddar Smatfood popcorn, kettle corn, caramel popcorn, from the movie theater, and even some gas stations.

Did you know… Popcorn is over 5,000 years old. World War II’s sugar shortage led to Americans to eat 3x more popcorn. It’s gluten free Nebraska produces more popcorn than any other state. Unpopped kernels are called Old Maids Americans eat 17 Billion quarts every year. It’s the state snack of Illinois. What are your favorite flavors of popcorn?

  We bought this watering can rain chain last year at Western Gardens, but I couldn't decide where to put it.  Well, I finally decided on putting it in the front yard. I really like it here.  I get to see it everyday and I can enjoy it through all the seasons. I like having stuff that isn't common... That no one else has.  This rain chain is unique to me.
